Not all Chipotle's are created equal... I placed a mobile order last night and essentially re-ordered what I normally get and selected the pick up location to be the Pinole location instead of the one by my work. Pick up was easy, my order was already there when I arrived and sealed safely. In great anticipation, I arrived home and hungry. However, after I took my first bite, I knew that there was something off. Initially, I thought I had grabbed the wrong burrito, however, when I re-checked the order label there was my name.. SO what was wrong? FIrst off the rice was just plain white rice stuck together- overcooked and soft, no flavor, no fluff and incredibly difficult to eat. The salsa lacked flavor and the beef was over cooked. Needless to say, it was not good. I will not visit this location again. read more

The portion size was absolutely pathetic! I ordered a bowl with white rice, black beans, chicken, lettuce, cheese, and sour cream. They barely scooped any rice, beans, nor chicken into my bowl. Not only that, but I paid a lot of money! Also, there was a big line and by the time I reached the front, it did not get any better. I even asked for more chicken, but they only gave me Half a scoop. I recommend not even thinking about getting food from there. Do better Pinole Chipotle! read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - This was my bowl. See the big crater of empty space on the left? You can literally see the bottom of the bowl on the left side of the bowl! - Mexican Near Me - Pinole, California

We really try here ... have ordered food in person mostly, because the order ahead or delivery is a fail. Today .... The bowl was filled with rice pudding instead of rice. One of the best parts about Chipotle is the rice , and the ability to heat the food up later for leftovers. There's always a stand off tension about how much protein we get when we pay for extra at this location. Not sure why this location really doesn't do the right thing ... as in remaking rice when it isn't correct ... Over 40 bucks for this food. We give up. read more

I came in for a few items, I had 3 different people asking what I wanted on each order all at once so i couldn't keep track of what was what. Then one order was packed before I was done ordering so I had to have them open it back up to add more things. I get home and both bowls have missing toppings. I haven't checked the third item but I can't say my hopes are high!There was no one in line behind me until I got to the register to pay so please slow the F down and make one order at a time read more

The absolute WORST service! Came in for our catering order! Refused to make it and they were DEAD inside! Absolutely not ONE customer! However the employees had more than enough time applying their lipstick and talking on their phones! Ended up walking out. Would NOT recommend! I will never return to this location! read more

After some morning meetings in Antioch, my colleague and I stopped by this Chipotle in Pinole for a late lunch. Its located in the same strip mall as Five Guys, so plenty of parking. Chipotle is still one of my favorite fast-casual restaurants. Despite some of the negative news hitting their corporation these past few years, I remain a loyal custom and shareholder. This particular store has a good sized seating area, and I like the modern leather stools. Maybe because it was a late lunch, but I did find the food section a bit messy and not with a whole lot of turnover. It looked like they had just one person on the grill and another assembling burrito bowls. BTW I normally get grilled chicken over rice, black beans, tomato, corn, and cheese. Gotta be careful with lettuce these days! read more

this place is ridiculous!!!! and more. went in for salad bowl, just beans, chicken, corn, and guacamole. I swear you couldn't see the chicken so I asked the lady: that's it? that's all the chicken your putting in it? she said yes that's 4 ounces. I said there's no way in hell that's 4 ounces. there was barely any chicken in there!!!!!! no fukn way!!! Im not expecting for them to over load my bowl but I was expecting them to at least fill the serving spoon with chicken and she didn't!!!!! then she had the nerve to put in 2 small pieces . that really pissed me off even more. bad bad service!!! they are soo greedy! never go there !!!!!!! read more

I've been going to this Chipotle about 10 to 15 times per year for the past 6 years and I've found that the food and the service are consistently excellent. When there is a long line of customers it moves pretty quickly. The staff are friendly and efficient, and my food is delivered exactly as I ordered. read more

Came in to get my birthday guac and the code wasn't working so instead of honoring it anyway, they turned me down. Super lame. Also just went to grab a gift card for someone and they wanted me to stand in a 20 minute line when they could have issued the card while the person behind me was having their food made...there was PLENTY of time. Y'all need to work on customer service and time management. I won't be coming here again. read more

They are very selfish with their servings. They serve you a very small portion of meat. When you ask for more because it was a small scoop, they get upset and give you a rude face. read more

This is more of a question than a review. Why do we eat Chipotle? It's Mexican food for people who don't like Mexican food. Especially if you live CA.there are so many other choices that are cheaper This isn't a dog at Chipotle they are doing their best. Also. Why can the person at the end of the counter rolling burritos Can't roll a burrito? With all that practice they get everydaySmhlol read more

Wow we came in to buy 2 steak salads w/double meat.. Don't do that unless you're prepared to pay $5.00 more each. Their lettuce was brown & I was trying to tell the young lady whom had an attitude about it to remove the brown out of our bowls & give us more greenery.. My complaint is not about the price of their high priced salads @ $35.00. But of these greasy containers of salad dressing that looks like someone recycled this crap!!!! read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Salad dressing for 2 salads!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Pinole, California

I used to go to chipotle pretty often, but over the years i've stopped going because how the employees scoop the items you pick. Bowls getting smaller and smaller. I just went today and i'm watching them scoop all the things I wanted on the bowl, not filling the ladel, and before putting it on the bowl, they dump a little bit off the ladel. The lady gets to the sour cream and i wish i was joking, she literally drizzles it on. Very little amount. I ask if i could please get some more, same thing again, drizzle of sour cream put on. I ask a third time for more and same thing. I end up asking for a side of sour cream and she says I just gave you three scoops! Yeah three scoops of hopes and dreams! I was like you can charge me for the side of sour cream... the price isn't an issue. She said she won't charge but next time they can't do this. So funny. I also felt very rushed through everything, I'm going down the row of saying things I want in the bowl, and shes going so fast in saying what next what next what next, that a few of the things she scooped I still wanted to ask for extra of that one since the scoop was so small. But she already had the ladle of the guac asking if I want this next... like I do but can we go back and fix all these portions you just gave me.... Like is this a tactic the workers are taught to do? Give no where near a full scoop of whatever it is the customer is getting, and move through the line so fast we don't get as much as a chance to ask for more? I remember going to chipotle years ago and I never had to ask for extra anything, they just... scooped proper portions. I wish I would've just said nevermind I don't want this anymore mid bowl being made. Horrible service with a side of eye rolls from the staff. After the CEO of chipotle who released that video a while back about portion sizes at Chipotle, and how unless its meat, you can always ask for more and won't be charged extra... I thought the staff would be better about the portions. But alas, I was wrong. Stingy as helllllllllll read more

I love chipotle for the most part. I came in to this establishment on the way to a job and as soon as I got in the long line the register broke. I get it. Things happen. The problem is that there was barely any communication or apologies for the wait. If anything they were rude about it. So what we as consumers saw was 6 or more employees standing around or walking around, with no communication to us. I really wonder why they didn't think out of the box and tell people to just order and pay on the app...which is what I decided to do. I went up to the front of the line to the register and spoke to who I presume to be the manager (long blonde hair) and let her know I just ordered on line and am now in a time crunch for work. She snapped that it would show up soon (I could see from the display that the order was already in). I actually apologized for the rush but was now late for work - no response from her. She then took my lead and told the rest of the people that they can order and pay online too. Any gratitude to me for bringing that option up? Nope. I realized I forgot to order chips so I did the same online quickly before she was done with my single salad order. I told her I had ordered chips separately and she got angry and tossed the chips down onto the counter and carelessly dropped my food on the counter as well without so much as a "thank you for being patient". I really hope upper management sees this and uses it as a growth opportunity. It's high pressure with a lot of people in line. True. Not discounting that. But regardless, you should be kind and level headed. And never EVER throw food onto the counter in frustration. It's like I just paid to be flipped off. I hope this review helps them to have protocols in place in case of emergencies, and also to learn to not take frustrations out on customers. read more

Can't really go wrong with Chipotle. And I must say this location is one of the best. Everything is always cooked well and fresh. You can tell they batch in a way to prepare for the rush so things aren't sitting too long. Absolutely love the chips. Sometimes there is not enough lime and salt, but I still love the freshness of the chips. read more

Giving a because the cashier was nice. We ordered a 20 person catering for our office party and it was so disappointing. The two meat trays were barely filled, guac., salsa and fajitas veggies were definitely not worthy of catering sizes. We had to DoorDash extra food because we were not going to feed 20 ADULTS with what was received. VERY disappointed with the quantity/quality. read more

We ordered through doordash and this is what we received was half of a bowl of our order which mind you is still incorrect now this is the 2nd time we have ordered And it was incorrect then as wll as now we can't get our money back somebody owes us over $30 we just want our money back Door Dash will only give us $14. Back and then added $3.75 for our INCONVENIENCE REALLY IT SHOULD BE MORE THAN THAT. AND SINCE DOOR DASH COULDN'T HELP THIS IS AGAINST THEM ALSO WE WILL NO LONGER USE DOOR DASH AND WE WILL NOT ORDER AGAIN FROM CHIPOTLE'S read more

Chipotle Mexican Grill - Chipotle bowl - Mexican Near Me - Pinole, California

Ordered on the app and said my order would be ready by 2:45 I left at 3:05. Watched the guy take ten minutes to make my food. 3 tacos and a burrito bowl. I've never wanted to trade someone's life in for the life of three annoying flies before, like I'd rather have 3 more flies in the world! Omg, guy's work ethic was so terrible. Watching him made me want to die. Then gave me bag with guacamole smeared on the side so now my black slacks are stained for the day. Also make sure you pick up and not get food delivered that way you can check it first because they like to fuck up your order and leave shit out! read more

Visited this Chipotle just now and their portion sizes...NEVER coming here again. Save your money and go to a different location where they will serve you a normal size burrito bowl that will actually fill up an adult, not some child. read more

More often than not THIS location: Has a fairly friendly staff. Sometimes they are robotic bumps on a log, but it does even out with a often friendly crew. During rush hour meal times this place can get a long line and that often matches up with less employees for some reason. The lines do move slowly then. Will NEVER have an on-time online order. 10-15 minutes minimum is what you need to wait to pick up online orders AFTER their estimated time. Nearly ALWAYS has dirty tables that stay dirty for a very long time. There will always be food leftovers on, under and near your table. read more

It's TWO hours before closing and I'm here in Chipotle now watching one guy clean the grill top, one guy carry a ladder around aimlessly, two workers in the kitchen talking, one guy scrubbing the counters with a dirty rag, a lady bringing in outdoor furniture (Mia), and only ONE guy (Frankie) tending to the to-go orders, making all the in-person orders, and manning the register. Credit given to Mia, she is the only person who later stepped in and helped Frankie. THIS AINT RIGHT!! I get it, you all want to go home, but your coworkers are doing you wrong and letting you handle all the business by yourself. Bad business model. Bad representation it puts out to customers. Bad. Bad. Bad. The store manager Monika should make changes and turn this store around. I will be contacting Chipotle corporate. read more

I've never ever done a poor review. I've had great experiences with Chipotle in the past. But, Chipotle has had the worst press and social media coverage for months. I refrained from eating here due to the negative reviews. I finally felt the need to try for myself. Tonight's order was 2 steak salads, we were tired and placed a delivery order. Order arrives, so thankful to our driver 5 stars! The food was an abomination! 'SALADS' had almost zero lettuce (first oddity), then we came to find out that the 'salads' without dressing were sitting in 1/2 inch of unstrained bean water????? We literally had to remove them from the container ant put them in a strainer. Dressing was on the side, so there is no confusion. It was just poorly executed. $20 bucks an hour should be spent on staff and leadership that actually care about delivering a quality product to consumers. REALLY BAD! I have to assume this is the norm with Chipotle now.....probably time for better leadership from CEO down. Just a sad experience.....straining a salad with no lettuce SMH! Epic fail and I guess we can believe how chipotle is framed on social media. R.I.P to Chipotle as we knew it. :( read more

Third review. Over it! I have given this location several times to right their wrongs and last night was the last time. We were in line for 15-17 minutes, and that part is fine. However, we get to the counter to order and are told there is no more white rice (this was 6:15 on a Sunday). I asked if she could tell me how long it would be until the white rice was ready and she said, " I don't know" so I went a little deeper and asked is it closer to 5 minutes or closer to 20 and she said, "we don't know". WRITE A NOTE and place it on the door when you are out of such a significant item, so we don't waste 15 + minutes of our lives. What happened to customer service and just plain common courtesy? read more

Spent $40 on a bowl and came out with a kids meal. The employee was shaking like she was going to loose her job when I asked for a little more sour cream.

So quite while your ahead. Just sad/ bad business. read more
